There is an uninstall tool on symantec site.
If yr having probs trying to install Norton2003 its probably as a result of
remnants of 2004
Trying to run multiple AV apps can cause probs.
Personnally I've run Norton products, inc 2004 without probs, on several
sys.
Everyone has their own favorite AV!
